Local Chicago Residents Count on SERVPRO for Flooding Remediation

The cleanup of a residential property with floodwater is a lot more involved than simply removing the water and hoping for the best. Some issues can arise from the structure getting inundated with a large amount of water. 

SERVPRO technicians use their equipment to determine if different problems have arisen from the contact with the floodwater. Frequently seen issues during flooding remediation in Chicago homes include:

  • Germination and spreading of mold spores
  • Buckled or deteriorated sheetrock
  • Sagging basement ceilings
  • Pooled water in basements
  • Crowning and cupping of hardwood floorboards

While the water extraction is a given during a flood damage cleanup, the drying phase of the mitigation process is crucial. The technicians monitor the process closely to ensure that the humidity levels fall in an even and timely manner. Afterward, air moisture readings on the tech's equipment can confirm that the structure is dry rather than relying on visual inspections only.

SERVPRO of Marquette Park / West Lawn / Ford City at (773) 337-3993 supports the local Chicago area with flooding remediation of any size.
